Modern House Part 15- Upper floor deck and walls

Title says it all, rinse and repeat for the top floor. I finish the decking of the top level and get plenty of crane time stocking the upstairs with material for the walls. Had great weather and Mike the roofer got the two low roof ends dried in which was good because we got some more rain the following week. The visual impact of the final shape really starts to appear as I stand walls at the front of the house and has me excited to get the rest of the walls sheeted.
Hope you enjoy this episode, the good weather made some great light for filming as well as working.
Thanks for tuning in :-)
*note- 52:15 I mention and show some blueprint dimensions. I failed to say that normally these are rounded off to useable numbers and that sometimes they miss some. I assume it’s just a function of the drafting program, but I always get a chuckle out of it:-)

    I sheeted my house with 1”1/8 sub and when I changed flooring I the screwed the entire floor system down! It squeaks no matter what nails u use ! I am a finish carpenter my dad at the times built customs and specs ! So we were not rookies! Now anything I can put down with screws then that is the fastener used!

    2 ай бұрын

    Absolutely and great question. The panels that I glue are floor panels and the thinner panels that I don't glue are roof panels (flat roof) it is not the best idea to glue roof sheeting to engineered joists because if there is ever a leak the glue can rip the top of the joist off if someone was to try to remove it.

    I've been a production framer my whole life...Phx/Vegas. I respect your skills 110%. The only thing I do differently is I use screws for my temp braces, mostly because they come out so dang easy when I take them down and no pulling nails and the wood doesn't break when you hammer it. Been known to whack yourself with a hammer too... I have kinda studied motion all my life and I can tell you the labor savings from using screws is real. 1 other thing I do is instead of making a crows foot with my pencil, I only make 1 mark and run the mark off the board, knowing that wherever the pencil line starts is my exact measurement...it saves time from making a second mark(crows foot). I know it's micro time but when you do things hundreds of times/day and thousands/week it adds up. This type of mind frame makes you successful (and wealthy--I retired at 57 yrs old)

  • @ShredPile

    @ShredPile

    2 ай бұрын

    All good stuff John thanks for that. I agree completely with you about screws and marks, and there are certain times where I employ both of those techniques. A lot of times if I’m just marking a board I’ll make the single mark and let it fade so I know the dark end is where I want to be. if I am marking out a floor I’ll do a Crowsfoot because it’s easier for me to see and a lot of times if the wood is wet the pencils just don’t work anyway so you need that advantage. I’m also fighting a genetic vision disorder that makes things either appear really good or not at all depending on the light so screw heads have a way of completely disappearing for me. I do use SDS screws sometimes (which show up good) when I really need something to hold and I probably should just change to doing that all the time. I appreciate a Pro chiming in and watching my stuff, framing is an awesome sport and it’s all the same and all different depending on what part of the country you’re in :-)

    Question from a non-tradesman paper pusher. What is the rectangular cutout in the flooring at the edge of the wall for?

  • @ShredPile

    @ShredPile

    Ай бұрын

    Without a timestamp I'm just guessing but do you mean where the green PT plywood is? if it is, that is the recess to create a curbless shower pan where the floor can be sloped to a trench drain and it still leaves room for waterproofing, tile backer and then tile to slope at the break line. The whole room will use large rectangular tiles and and they will continue into the shower as well. super clean look when finished
